Country of Origin United States
Description The Predators' Ball is a dance extravaganza satirizing the rise and fall of junk bond king Michael Milken. Set to teeming, hip-hop/industrial soundscape and fueled by a series of sharply etched rap monologues, Karole Armitage's newest work epitomizes and parodies the go-go 80s, the "me decade." Known for her punk perspective, Armitage brings a fast-paced pop culture sensibilty to this wicked recounting of the Wall Street hucksters who made arbitrage a household word. Sets by artist David Salle capture the sleek, headlong spirit of the era.
